Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM)
Nationally there has been an increase in reported acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) cases since August 2018. Clinicians are encouraged to maintain vigilance for AFM among all age groups and to report patients with acute onset of flaccid limb weakness. Reporting of cases will help states and CDC monitor the occurrence of AFM and better understand factors associated with this illness.
